Happiness is more elusive than a butterfly. The more you run after it, the faster it’ll elude you. But everyone wants to be happy, no matter how challenging it is.

Only a monk can live in pure bliss, free of everyday stress and exhaustion. He gives up worldly pleasure and luxuries to look inwards to find the ultimate truth.

Ordinary people like you and me cannot achieve this feat, at least not in this lifetime. But we can make minor tweaks in our busy life to be a little happier every day.

Jeffery Marsh, a non-binary author who lived in a monastery as a monk for 20 years believes we need to fix these top three problems to be happier.

1. This Toxic Habit Will Make Your Life A Mess

It would be ideal if you were able to control your life perfectly the way you want because everyone believes life will be stress-free once you got the perfect job and partner.

But that’s far from the truth. There will be new challenges every day and you’ll have to work harder to hold onto your perfect partner or job.
